confessions for the art community

[wolfconfessions]

new confession blog.

hi, this is a new emoji/art community confession blog. reason being i've seen some in the past get taken down because of personal reasons or avoid posting due to other concerns.

although the one big difference is that i will be trying my best to sum up whatever big issue is currently bothering the community, considering that things tend to be a bit chaotic in times like this. reminder that whilst i will do my best to make a synopsis, that even i may be wrong while presenting potential evidence.

Giggling my fav topic im happy to info dump-

To preface the “types” aren’t used as much unless we talk about PoTs and POTS- two very different conditions often confused with each other due to lack of research-

PoTs is also called Hypovolemic pots it’s the “low blood volume” version so both plasma and white blood cells are low thus causes decreased blood to the brain because there’s just less available blood to circulate

The next type is called Neuropathic POTS its issues with small fiber neuropathy causing more of the “blood pooling” type of POTS but is also like sweating, and color changes in limbs (a lot like Raynaud's phenomenon)

Third another PoTs condition Hyperadrenergic POTS where you have elevated plasma norepinephrine and a RISE in blood pressure standing up this is the tachycardia, heart palpitations, tremors, nausea, etc etc type.

And then the two last types are kinda lumped together being “secondary” and autoimmune- a dysfunction in the autonomic nervous system that is usually trigged by an outside condition such as mcas, hEDS, etc or can be trigger by an infection (why we’ve seen a spike in cases recently covid-) hormone changes blah blah blah LUCKILY this is the one most common to be “grown out of” as you age / treat other conditions

You can and it’s VERY common to have multiple types hence why they’re not used as much anymore outside of PoTs being diagnosed with a blood test and POTS typically being done with a tilt table test / poor man’s tilt table test

that makes a lot of sense. thank you very much !

I can excuse some of it, like the overposting or unprompted criticism, as accidents do happen sometimes/people hit send before they rethink the text, but also when server rules are so blatantly there? I just have my head in my hands all the time.

The ghosting is such an issue though, I can not count the sheer amount of times I’ve had it happen specifically from art Discords in my years online. It’s probably my fault for continuing to even look for good art servers that don’t have mods that just overlook that/don’t enforce their own rules, but I’m also tired of other apps with their generative ai scraping bullshit 💔

Coming from someone who did art hubs, those emoji servers with the artist section, commission servers, species server, roleplay servers. Discord servers for art (and writing in the case of roleplay) just have so many issues I’ve encountered, mostly directed at the people who are old/experienced enough to know better in those communities, especially the moderators.

Probably should’ve specified in my last ask that I’m not really targeting the young children who have “bad etiquette” because you have to learn somewhere, but more so the frustration at the experiences, the adults, and the lack of moderation from people who run it.

it's alright, i understand what you were getting at. it really is a shame that the art community has gotten to this point unfortunately. but hopefully in the future you'll be able to find a group of like-minded people who own up to their word.

A rant away from current chococritter shit.

Why are all these cutesy art servers so fucking ASS at keeping up their end of art trades? I’ve had sooo many people ghost their end, not read my tos, completely ignore any and all boundaries I have publicly listed, so on. Both emoji cord and art cord as whole for this shit, especially anything labeling themselves as “non toxic” and “for the artists.”

They are also the most insufferable places with everyone posting immediately after others do, unprompted DMs, unprompted criticism towards other artists, whatever else have you that you can associate with bad etiquette, paired with the copy paste “soft quirky girl” personalities.

i can agree to a certain length. both from personal experience and what i've seen, some people in the art community do unfortunately show a sense of entitlement when it comes to posting or engaging in other's art. it's really disheartening to see as it discourages a lot of new artists from wanting to follow their passion.

I enjoy seeing more confession blogs! Just want to point out that if you’re wanting to make this accessible, mobile Tumblr shows your “ask” button as invisible with the black on black, so people may have to go through the dot menu which can be hard on shaky hands. But that’s also if you want to, personal taste and all.

Here’s to an easy run/hoping you don’t get “blacklisted” by the emojicord people at large. 🎉

thanks for pointing that out actually. i have a feature that lightens anything too dark for me so i didn't notice it wasn't visible.

but here's to hoping, and safe wishes to all lurking behind the screen.

i think sage shouldve reported the CSAM material effectively rather than just to its local police department because god knows what could’ve happened to the kid who was the victim of abuse and that material.

personally don’t know how it could get doxxed but if anyone does know how please do. the fact that CSAM material was still distributed is disgusting and personally was very overlooked in the rentry 🧁

[cupcakesemojiconfessions]

chococritters has had god knows how many shutdowns 🧁 i won’t be surprised if it re opens AGAIN because last time reki did say it was permanent but it reopened. considering how serious the situation is i dunno if theyll reopen but hey its literally chococritters you never know

for anyone confused, the allegations are as followed: sagespiral is an adult discord user that co-owned a popular art/emoji community server called Chococritters, sagespiral has been accused of purposefully stalking, possessing and sending csam (child sexual assault material for anyone who doesn't know the meaning) to their own alleged stalker, as well as being a previous admin account that claimed "suicide", essentially faking their death. that's the big issue, the main one everyone is talking about. however, following the allegations being made public, i believe chococritter staff reacted too frantic and demoted sagespiral too quickly, which may have led to sagespiral releasing a half written defense rentry thay comes out as more "fuck you, i'm the victim and i have no control over everything" rather than the damning response they intended for it to be. despite all of this, the alleged accusatory document has not been released. some other issues the community has been upset over are: chococritter staff being aware of these allegations and supporting sagespiral over the victim that recieved the csam, and specifically cross (another one of the three co-owners) being in the know about everything and potentially being a co-conspiritor toward's the victim. whilst nothing is concrete, please be sure to be on the lookout for when the document does drop, and be mindful not to rush to anyone's opinions as none of the screenshots sagespiral had shown either are for sure certain due to their ambiguous nature.

also hope you're doing well in all this melody.

this is very helpful, thank you! :) and i am doing quite well. i’m an adult myself so online doesn’t bother me too much, hence why i decided to run this blog so others can get their feelings out 🐾🤍
